Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D (pronounced as Year Zero Remixed; also known as Halo 25) is the title of a release by Nine Inch Nails. It was released in the US as a digital download and a CD/DVD-ROM on November 20, 2007, and a 3-disc vinyl set on a date to be determined. (The vinyl release was delayed due to packaging issues.) The album contains remixes from artists that Trent Reznor contacted and asked to do remixes, as well as a fan remix. "My Violent Heart: Pirate Robot Midget" is a fan remix that initially appeared at ninremixes.com, but Reznor was so impressed by it that he asked for permission to add it to Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.
As of October 3, 2007, Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D has been mastered, and is ready to press. Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D leaked on various P2P networks and filehosting websites on November 14, 2007.
